FOOD FOR FARMERS.

At the invitation of Hon. F. p.
Stubs, Prof. w. c.. Stubs visited
Monroe ON Thursday the 2Sth inst. AMI
addressed a large assembly Of farmers,
planters and Others. The address was
replete with practical Information,
learned research, and thoughtful wis
dom. Prof. Stubs showed that he is
master of every detail in agriculture,
both from scientific and from prac-
ticai standpoint. He makes farming
the most enlightened aud beautiful as
well as most useful and honorable oc-
cupation. Under his magic treat ment,
farm-life becomes an ideal existence.
Tho address was so fascinating aud
so much enjoyed by every one present,
that at its conclusion the meeting I'M
animousIy adopted the following re-
solution offered by Judge A. A. Gnnby :
Resolved, that the thanks of this
meeting are due aud are hereby cor
daily voted and rendered to Prof.
Stubs for the practical, instructive,
useful, scholarly and beautiful address
with which he has favored us.
AT the request of Hon. F. p. Stubbs,
Prof. Stubs consented to permit the
publication OF his address.
1t was then resolved that the agri-
cultural association of Ouachita parish
be recognized and a meeting for that
purpose was called for Saturday at
12M.
Prof. S!ubbs was questioned AS to the
treatment of cotton worms and he
stated that even the most ignorant
negro ongbt not to have the least diff.
Guilty in protecting his cotton crop from
worms. He said that the farmers in
Alabama no longer feared the worms
He gave as formula "one pound OF
Paris Green to forty gallons of water
which sprinkled on the cotton when
the worms begin to riddle it, will
eGectually destroy them. He fu,the,
stated that all the farmers OF a COM
| munity should act in concert SO that
worms left on one place should not
migrate TO another.
In answer to Il question, Prof, Stubs
| stated that the new Experimental Sta
ton aud farm would certainly be
located somewhere on the line of the
i ", S. & p. Railroad, and, doubtless
| the parish which offered the most in.
ducement would be given the site.
Prof. Stubs spoke as Zone having
authority" on agricultural matters anC
every one present felt that it was "goot
to be there"

We We're not made aware until yes
terday Of the fact that Strong had been

following:

OF IRELAND.
4he Obnoxious Crimes Law Proclaimed.

J. Especial Cable Dispatch TO The Start
DUBLIN, July 23.-The Irish Privy
Council, presided over by the Mar
quis OF Londonderry, the Lord Lieu
tenant, decided ut its meeaing to. day to
proclaim all the counties in ireland un-
der the Crimes act, with the single ex~
ception of Antrim.
A meeting of the resident nagis-
trates and county officers Of Ireland
was held at an early hour, and reso
lutions were passed favoring the Gu
fOrcement OF the act with impartial
firmness.
Mr.. Balf0ur's conference with the
VicerOy OF Ireland, Lord Ashbournc,
General Butler and the Irish magis-
trates and county officials nj Diblin
to day has resulted in his rec nnlnen.
dalion 10 the government to take i'm
mediate measures to suppress the Irish
National League, as the first st'p .u-
ward applying the Coercion act.
The government will take no action
| upon this recommendation until the
| meeting Of the Cabinet next week, and
| it seems improbable that the ministry
will accede TO the Irish Secretary's re-
quest. Indeed, 1t would appear to be
| impossible for tns government to do so,
considering the fact that such action
would drive the Irish party in Parlia-
ment into the most determined OBJ
struction OF the remaining bills before
the House, rupture the tacit agreemen,
with the Opposition on the Land bill,
and indefinitely proIong the session.
Mr.. BalfOur's advisers are warning
him against the proposed system OF
suppressing certain local branches OF
the league as snre to prove ineffective,
and are pointing out to him the pat ent
fact that the unity of The league is SO
complete that it would be able to cons
tInue the work OF the branches sup
pressed. The general opinion among
the Tories is that the league must be
suppressed completely or not inter.
fered with at all.
Hon. William O'Brien will be pre-
sent tomorrow at the ceremony OF
founding huts for the evirt.d tenants
of Lugga Curran, which wilt take
place in that town.

Gen. Hurst Inyents il Deadly Shell.
Especial to The Tim as- Dem ocrat.1

Especial to The Tim les Dem ocrat.]
WASHINGTON, July 25,-In order t,
get the missile that is most deadly for
long range gun, Gen. II. p. Harst,
OF Summit, Miss, has invent Il and
patented Il schrapnel shell That is quite
new anu novel in lis construction, be-
ing entirely different from anything
seen either here or abroad.
Schrapnel shell as they are in general
use at present are only deadly when
they can be exploded Immediately
over or slightly in advance Of body
of troops, for when the shelf is eXpIo-
ded by the bursting of the charge the
bullets and the round shot contained
therein go forward in the fern Of a
triangle, widening out from the point
OF explosion ut an angle not greater
than 1O' or 15', and some of them are
thrown upward and downward at tho
same or different angles, 30 that troops
lying behind hreas!works or case
ments are comparatively safe from this
form of shell.
1t is only in the open field that they
are at all deadly, and even then their
range of destruction is embraced in a
comparatively very small scope.
The popularity of the Hurst schrap-
mel, which, by tho way, contains III ore
than double the number of bullets and
round shot in the charge than any
other schrapnel of similar calibre, con-
sists in its ability TO distribute its
charge of bullets to almost every point
of the compass in IFS line Of flight, and
its even and uniform distribution OF
hot no 10 ~
long space; so after firing off from 200
or 800 to 1000 or 5000 hall: ounce or
or ounce bullets, according to the size
Of the shell, the whole shell is then
exploded into minute fragments and
scattered in every direction.
The construction of the shell has so
far been kept secret except to the in
ventOr and TO Il few naval officers TO
whom 1t has been shown.
i is proposed to fire a Calling gun
like charge of missiles by time
fuse, which: can be SO adjusted as to
explode at any given ranges within
the limit Of the gun, at tho pleasure of
the gunner. Such Il shell, fired from Il
long range gun, would make it utterly
impTacticable to bring up in open field
and in view Of the gunnrrS, Il body Of
troops in column, as the fire OF the
shell coul! be so regulated as to rain
down bullets on the advancing column
from front to rear, even if il covered
the space of quarter or half Of Il mile
in length. Only faint conception can
be formed of the slaughter and demo
ral!zatiOn that would attend tho use of
Il missile capable of pouring out shot
in such Il rain like fashion.
Gen. Hurst, who fought all through
the late war and obtained full rpali-
zaiion of its horrors, remarked to The
Times Democrat correspondent that
his object was to invent something so
deadly and destructive that nations
would be exceedingly slow to enter in
to struggle.
